Women Ruling a City.
Memphis Appeal.

memphis Appear.
I have just returned from trip on
the Santa Fe road, west. Syracuse,
sixteen miles from the Colorado line,
was the Mecca Of my pilgrimage, be-
cause here, April 18th, they elected
City Council of women, and l was bent
upon seeing the town that had made
this innovation, and the women who
were filling the Council chairs. I
wanted to ask the people how it came
about and how it was working. The
first of these ladies introduced to me
was Mrs. l.. r. Barbour, fair.faced,
gentle-mannered woman, with an I'M
mistakable air Of business about her.
| found this accounted by the fact that
she is business woman. Her hus-
band does large and complicated bust
ness, the books are entirely in her
charge. Mrs. Fl. D. Mott is business
woman, too. She is chairman of the
Syracuse Aldermaniac force. Mrs. NJ.
". Risgles is quiet little woman, a
careful and conscientious mother and
housewife. She has way of making
up her mind for herself and standing
firmly by her convictions. She has
reputation among Syracuse male cit
liens for being person Of excellent
judgment. Mrs. S. n Coe is woman
of excellent ability, with enough con-
servatism to keep her enthusiasm In
proper check. No one of these women
is more anxious to do exactly right
than Mrs. Coe. Mrs. L. NJ. Swart-
wood, the fifth member, I did not see,
although l made an effort to do so.
She was confined to her home by sick
ness; but [ am told that she is woman
of ability and by no means behind her
sisters in any requisite for her position.
My short acquaintance with these
women convinced me that sitting in
council chairs and wrestling with ques-
tons of city polity have had no effect
to unsex whatever that may be
for these were as womanly women as
[ have ever seen. | looked IN vain for
masculine tendencies. There was not a
hint of it in dress or manner. Meeting
them on the street or in the cars, you
would never guess that they were city
officials. From conversation with them
! learned that they were exceedingly
anxious to make their administration a
just one-one that would advance the
best interests of the city; and when
they spoke of advancing the interests
of their city they betrayed the fact that
they had in mind the city's moral as
well as temporal prosperity. 1t is said
of them that they are doing better
work than the body Of men who COM
posed the previous council. Their
townspeople say they were elected be-
cause somebody proposed it and ev-
erybody was pleased with the idea;'
because 'it was believed they would
make excellent officers" because "the
temperance people thought women
wouldn't be afraid to enforce the Pro-
hibitory law" because "we want to
advertise our town. this last from a
member of real estate firm; because
"women would take time to do the
work well and oughtfully." Alto
gether, I was pleased with my first
sight of woman Council This is the
only one in the United States.

Ii. bit in Eating ana d hiking.

There is class Of people who progress
with meal something after this fashion:
A long draught Of coffee, ten, milk 81
water, as the case may be, begins the
performance; this is followed by .
mouthful of something solid; only 4
mouthful, however, for the stream il
turned on again down the throat. a,
glass Of water disappears; then the food
is attacked, and voraciously; again tho
stream. Once more attention is given ia
the food, but always the stream has the
first consideration. We silently ask and
wonder how long the man can stand it.
TO say nothing Of the utter disregard Of
the laws of health in thus eating and
drinking simultaneously, it is an absurd
spectaclcl A tired, ovcrheated mar
drinks twice as much water as he needs
first, because lie is so tired he doesn't
know what he is doing till he sees tho
bottom Of the glass; and, second, bel
cause his blood is at boiling mark, and
the sudden chill is delightful, and he
would prolong it till his capacity to
swallow gives out For the same reason
he drinks rapidly, that the succession Of
chills may lower his temperature az
speedily as possible Anl then he goes
out to his stable and says: sJohn, BID

a DispeIled Delusion.

The shining metallic incruststion
found upon the teeth of some Of the cat
tic which are pastured along the banks
Of the Carson river has been popularity
pronounced to be coating of gold and
silver deposited upon the teeth from the
mineral imprcgnation of the water and
grass, attracted through the magnetic
action Of the animals body. Some of
this bullion incrustation or deposit was
submitted recently to Professor +. E.
Fielding, chief ass,,ycr at the CONSOLE
dated California and Virginia assay Office
in this city. Upon critical analysis Of
the material he prononnces it to be pure
calcium sulphide, with not the least trace
Of either gold, silver or quicksilver.

Many women dentists practice their pro-

discouraged in their attempts to study
dentistry, as close association with male
students has often unpleasant results.
The only plan which think would work
satisfactorily would be to separate the
sexes in dental colleges. This plan has
shown good results in medical schools.
More women dentists practice their pro-
fession in Europe than in America. ?
'.How are twelve dollar set teeth,

I'm almost the same manner that $50
sets are made. A mechanical dentist
would charge the same price $50 for
making a $12 set Of teeth as he would
for higher priced set. Dentists, how
ever, who make teeth at the rate named
always do their own work. In cheap
upper and lower sets Of teeth the teeth
cost So, while in the higher priced sets
the teeth are worth but SO more. In
cheap sets the only additional expense
is for rubber and plaster. The latter is
worth, possibly, five cents and the rub
Der twenty five. The materials used in
dentistry cost but little. It is the work
and skill for which the patient is obliged
to pay. You will excuse me,'' said my
informant, looking at his watch, ''as l

About Locomotives.

A writer in The Albany Argus discourses
about locomotives as follows: San old
engineer told me the other day that loco
motives we're habitual cranks. Why he
said, only year ago two engines came
from the same shop, we're made from the
same castings, were put together by the
same workmen, but one OF the two engines
wouldn't bulge an inch faster than fifteen
miles an hour, while her compan on could
easily roll of sixty miles an hour under
half the steam it took to send the other
engine fifteen miles an hour. We crowd
cd every pound of steam upon the fifteen
miller, but, no, she wouldn't move an inch
faster although she would draw four more
heavily loaded freight-csrs than the en-
CINE that rolled up sixty miles an hour to
her credit. Suddenly the fifteen miller
came to dead stop between stations, and
there she stuck and couldn't be made TO
move again. Almost at the Same time
the sixty miller on another portion OF the
road came to dead stop also, and she
couldn't be made to move. Both engines
were drawn back to the shop, were taken
apart, examined, put together again, but
mol they could not be made to move under
$50 pounds OF steam Stop running they
would, and stop running they ola, al
though both of them were not year old.
Finally they were broken up and sold for
old junk. 1t is not always the bright new
engine, you see, that is the best. In the
round-house we have some ola tubs, out
of fashion that can and do beat the new
engines in speed and drawing capacity
every day, and are always reliable. You
think locomotives are expensive:
They used TO be. You can get
a fine locomotive nowadays for $4,000 or
10000 that formerly cost 10000 and
$40, 600. Competition did it,

! ing Madeline that two such pleasant little
girls found their way up there yesterday,
while she WAS gone, TO invite them to a
Thanksgiving dinner at the church; and
they were to pley games, and have very
nice time; and that q sleigh would come
for them aud bring them back. She was
very radiant about it. and promoted
around the room TO the amusement of
Madeline, who for Mildred's sake was
glad.
And that night Madeline took many
stitches on Nildred's clothes, and covered
up the frayed edges as best she could.
There was no fanciful story to be told
the anticipation of pleaaaut day out
was talked over and over, and the diving
embers went out long before Mildred was
ready to retire.
Thanksgiving dsY came in bright and
clear; the,tress sparkled with frost, and
the sun streamed into the window of
of the tenement house but not be-
fore the girls were up; aud after a fru-
gal breakfast, they set their room TO
rights, and were very busy Early in the
afternoon the sleigh stopped for Made
line and Mildred, and went on its rounds
for others. A fine time they had; after
a sumptuous dinner they played gam es,
and there was music, and all we're as
merry az could be. The little guests for
got for t1me their cheerless HON es; and
who could have been happier than the
members of the Lend-a Hand" 20 see
how happy they had made others And
resolved to spend their future Thanks
givings in like manner.
For days and days Madeline and Mil
dred talked about their pleasant outing;
and many times after, some of these
pleasant little people brought useful ar
ticles, and picture books for Mildred
and thus helped them in many ways.
The winter was very severe, and Made
line sewod from early morn till late at
night. Day by day 1 saw her growing
paler and thinner.
When the spring time came again, the
pot of English violets was placed in the
window near which Madeline was now &C
customed to sit. often saw kind friends
there; but one day / missed Madeline,
and grew so bold as to fly into the room
again, and l saw her lying in bed, look
ing so wan and white, and flying near. her
perched myself on the head of her bed.
But everyone seemed so frightened that
l few away.
When l visited the tenement house
again, the violets were gone, and poor
Madeline had gone where there is no more
sorrow. Little Mildred went to live with
a kind and wealthy lady, who became ia
terested in her on that Thanksgiving day.
